I I 1 PAINTINCMN WORK By Nelson Boyd. Special Correspondence of Xha Journal. ONDON, May 3.Painting in the tdark is the latest thing in art. H. Keyworth Raine, who has be en dubbed the "cellar artist," is cre ating a sensation in London art circles. is not a mere faddist. There is de cided method in what his fellow artists are pleased to term his madness. While many wielders of the brush are finding the utmost difficulty in making a# liv ing, even in the strongest daylight, iKeyworth Raine is getting rich a dingy cellar opposite St. George church, Hanover square. The cellar artist'' has attracted the attention of some of the wealthiest and most distinguished people in England. less a personage than Lord Iveagh, tho king's great chum, has come out as Raine's bold champion and practical patron. has more orders than he can execnto. and titled people are invit ing him to their country seats, and giv ing him commissions galore. Already thru tho influence of Lord Iveagh he |has painted the portraits of the Earl of Buehan, Lady Evelyn Guinness, .Sir Nevil le Chamberlain, K.C.B., Sir John 'Arnott and hosts of others. His Studio We ll Hidden, The lightless artist does not seem to court publicity.. igi lblicity is not even in the London directory. After some difficul ty, his studio was found by the Journal correspondent. The prop er" address is 13A George street, Han over square, but if you apply at the im posing building which this number rep resents, you will even then have some difficulty in locating jour man. It is only when you go around by the side of the building, that you notice a modest little sign on a dingy-looking railing. You read the words "Cellar Studio." Descending a steep flight of very nar row and dingy steps, you come into a still narrower and more dingv passage, which leads into an even dingier be yond. This beyond is involved in a somber darkness that would have done credit to the tenth plague of .Egypt. Out of the'depths of the blackness, a Voice calls you: "Will you step this way into the studio.'' You don't know which way "this way" is, but trusting to Providence and obeying the voice, you enter a door and have the impression of being in a By Mrs. A. C. Ellison. N this flood-time of children's liter ature, it is a somewhat audacious undertaking to put down in black :i.ud white, and then sign one's name to Jt, :i list of books that every child should know. It means threading one's way thru a labyrinth of printed stuff, a large amount of which lends itself Chiefly to the gentle art of skipping, and selecting only that which continues to "foist itself into fame year after year by childien themselves./' and favor "by* the Perhaps there will, always be in evi dence more or less of this would-be literature, with its stilted and wooden creations to encumber the earth, but Jthere will still stand out here and there certain wayside inns where all children love to linger while trailing their clouds of glory thru the swiftly moving years. As I Once Was. A few generations ago there was no distinctive literature for boys and girls, the "masterpiece only" theory was in force by virtue of necessity, and the days wh en Charles Lamb's sister was "tumbled into a spacious closet qf good old English books to browse at will upon that fair and wholesome {pasturage,'' i th days of the few gfctestlibrarieswaandnonle ood the few and the were meant to survive, but in this generation when every child looms jinto the importance of an individual, jit is desired not only that the fittest may survive, but that the many may be made fit. To this end, various and learnest have been the efforts to bring .within the range of every child "this fair and wholesome pasturage." That Ihe is entitled to a choice his reading is both wise and just, but the responsi bility of reflecting into that choice jWhat is fair and wholesome, presup poses either a good library or a dis criminating knowledge of what consti tutes literature, and lacking both of these a little study of child nature, and (a bit of common sense are not bad sub stitutes to have in the family. Famous Mother Goose. This takes us back to the starting point, for if left to himself a child will go with unerring instinct to Mother foose. I have been told that there are children who have never learned to I love these rhymes, but it is onl-o- fair to regret their delinquencies later in normal or else to hope they will learn to regret their dehnqumcies later in life. Just wherein lies the wonderful vitality of Mother Goose still remains to be settled just why the old woman with her broom, little Miss Muffit, the dish running away with the spoon, and all the rest of it. are so facinatmg and dramatic, is still one of the hidden secrets of childhood. et after all has been said, I think it harks back to their jingle^a nd to a certain delicious absence of sense and reason. But whatever the source of their popularity children have continued to cling to them with a largeness of love ever since the Newberys published them in 1765. This early edition, called Melodies of Mother Goose, is out of print, but there has recently been re printed in fac-simile the Munroe & Francis edition with an introduction by Edward Everett Hale, which includes all but three of the earlier rhymes.- |JV Goody Two Shoes. a With the publication of the Melodies was also sent out at the same time Goldsmith's Goody Two Shoes, and these two books will outlive all the "good little books with neat cuts," that have been published since. The edition of Goody Two SJioes illustrated by Walter Crane is exceedingly at tractive and will follow in the trail of Mother Goose. It isn't in the least original to say that children are attracted by colors RUd pictures, because everyone who has bserved them knows it to be true and ?li?^!l?i_i!!!!!^^ 8 Editorial Section.

The only visible object this room is a chair standing on a sort of pedestal, and vaguely lighted by a streak of light, carefully shrouded off by a strip of yellowish brown paper. The voice proceeds to assure you that the sitters occupy the chair on* the pedestal, and that the light entering the window is all the illumination he requires for his por traits. to this time, you have not had an opportunity to see the cellar artist him- the picture book enters seriously into the child's first years, as does the move ment of life later on. The importance of beautiful color and design as factors in education has long been recognized, there only remains the discrimination' and selection. Gifts of Illustration. This generation has showered* many rich gifts of illustration and fancy upon the children's books, and the ugly little dummies that display themselves in the Chatterbox and kindred litera ture, have been replaced by the de lightful sketches as shown in the Cal dicott picture books, in "All the.World Over'' an rl "Bag Taa anA Bo To^l and Tail Edith Farmeloe in "There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe" illus trated in color by K. J. Henall, and "Cock-A-Doodle-Do" by Cecil Aldin "Children of Our Town," illustrated by E. Mars and M. H. Squire "Child hood" by Katherin Pyle, illustrated by Sarah Stillwell. The Kate Greenaway books are al ways favorites, as also Walter Crane's illustrations, which are beautiful in color and design. Here are a few of the latter: This Little Pig Went to Market," Mother Hubbard,'' "Beauty and the Beast," "Eed Eiding Hood," and his "Flora's Feast." A Masque of Flowers." a gem of beauty Peter Newell's "Topsys and Turveys" and "Pictures and Ehymes," the latter illustrated in black and white with a preface by /ohn Kendrick Bangs, are full of delicious humor,1 while "Joan of Arc" by G. M. Boutel de Monvel is so beautiful that a child is fortunate to have grown up with it. One of ,the modem favorites is a little book called "Nanny,'"illustrated in color by T. 13. Butler, which is full of quaint and laughable rhymes. The old-fashioned one called "Slovenly Peter" by H. Hoffman ig another favorite, altho I could never discover why, unless it is due to subconscious fellow-feeling with Peter's delinquences. Beatrice Potter's Books. Beatrice Potter is another modern illustrator and her A Tale of Peter Eabbit," "The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin," and "The Tailor of Glouces ter" make attractive and holdable books, and the little brothers there are drawn with life and sympathy. The picture book is the story without words, the story with the preaching left out. Association with pictures like these will unconsciously develop the child's taste for harmonious lines and color, and open up later the great book of nature, not that false aspec*t that depicts tad poles as ruminating on their trans morphosej, or caterpillars reasoning on their future existences, or the inane conversations indulged in by mama this and papa that, but nature with its transcendent color scheme, its silent voices, its obedience to law, tracing with its gracious finger the handiwork of God. The Primer's Place. uBallads 4 Allied to the picture books shouldlbe the primer, but unfortunately, I think the artistic is too often sacrificed to the desire 'to talk, which after all might as well be illustrated by something beautiful as mediocre.'^V-The "Arnold Primer," the "Art literature Stories" and "Folk-Lore Stories" by E., O. Grover fill the need fairly well, but to my mind there is an "opportunity for a beautiful and practical art primer. There are few books of a miscellaneous nature that lend a charm to every day in a child's first years. One of these is "Folk-Lo fe Stories and Proverbs" E S. Wiltse, which is a rare adap tion of old legends, and its illustrations tell the story even better than the words. J. H. Haaren is another ac ceptable compiler, his "Ehymes and Fables" and and Tales" are sympathetic, and have nothing of that "writing down" character that is an abomination and always to 1)6 avoided 'fo&!i9'&-B<!2s self and have to gather your impres sions from his voice, which conveys a vague notion that its owner is slightly deaf, for he speaks in the measured monotone of one listening to his own words, and measuring their sound. Charles Lamb mourned the days before the invention of artificial light, say ing how wretchedly a ioke must have passed off when you had to feel your neighbor's face to learn whether he were smiling or not and perhaps the lack of conversation while sitters are in selecting any adaptations from liter ature. Dear to the Child Heart. Andrew Lang's "Nursery Verse for Children. The rhythm of verse always meets with quick response from a child. It is as if he were born with a natural im petus toward beauty and harmony, and all musical rythm is hut an echo .front his recent heaven world. The" child who can listen to the cadence of a mother's voice, chanting strains from those who have -caught a glimpse of the "light That never was on sea nor land," is swayed by its beauty long before the meaning is revealed. To this end all musical verse can be utilized, Ten nyson, Longfellow, Browning, etc. There are some excellent compilations of verse from which selections can be made. Kate D. Shute's "Land of Song," M. W. Morrison's "Songs and Ehymes for th e. Little Ones," "The Posy Bing," and "Gold en Numbers" compiled by K. D. Wiggin and Nora Smith are excellent. Of course a child should hear the songs from Eugene Field's "Lullaby Land" and "Love Songs of Childhood." 'should never be defrauded of "The Calico Mare," "Saddled and Bridled for Bumpfield nor from "Pittypat and Tippytoe." There is a beautiful edi tion of his poems of childhood illus trated in color by Maxfleld Parrish, while from the true friend of every child has come the "Child's Garden of Verses," come to leave a smile and a tender memory. This ay not be as long a list as the modern child demands, but it wiri fill his early life with joy, and lead to the door which opens into that fair and wholesome pasturage which is the birth right of eyerybne who can make it his own. It is not necessary to be buried alive in books to learn to love them. Give the child a few choice ones that will enrich his life, and teach him to love them and kn ow them, and-if in later years the poet or the storymaker should learn to speak thru him, he may trace his themes back to that first un alloyed joy in the flights of Mother Oroose. ITHE'DARKiTHE OF THE "CELEARI^RTISIRsfTH ,1 K^Wafr -|he aTtistsf Ehyme "Book," Emile Poulsson's "Child' Stories and Ehymes," and the "Nurs ery Stories and Ehymes," Edward Lear's "Nonsense Books," and Kath erin Pyle's "As the Goose Flies" are all dear to the child's heart, and tho latter are especially attractive in illus tration. Maud Lyndsay's "Mother StoiieB" are good adaptations .and can be* read aloud to little ones. Esop's Fables walk very naturally into these first days so filled with delightful ignorance of authorships and classics, and all such embaig:assiiig,jfespon,sibili ties There is an edition of Esop's Fables with an introduction by T, Cary, and illustrated m- color by J. M. Conde, and also "Baby% Oym Esop'*1 by Walter Crane that are suitable,, for a first introduction to these fables, and the illustrations very much enhance the "story hour."
